The True Blood Season 4 Premiere

The wait is over. The premiere of True Blood is tonight and it promises to be another exciting season. Along with vampires, shape shifters, and werewolves they are adding witches to the brew.  LUV IT!. I think those deadly vampires need to see some magic in their midst. I mean they are not the only ones with powers right? The season premiere of True Blood promises to have all the bells and whistles in full force and will not disappoint.

All the Bill and Sookie fans will have to stay patient though. Remember last season Sookie is off in some other world known as fairy land since she is indeed a Fairy. That's where her powers are derived. She is surrounded by her loved ones and the forbidden fruit.  Don't eat the fruit Sookie! Sounds a little Genesis. She also found out last season that Bill betrayed her and was sent to the earth to manipulate her for his own gains. Sookie got so angry and hurt that she banished Bill from her house forever. Bye bye...bye bye now... No invite anytime soon I'm pretty sure. And for good measure she banished Eric too because she was finished with vampires for now. Now that Bill is upset, he is seeking revenge. Watch out because without his lady he can be violent.

All I know is that I hope Sookie has more scenes with that handsome werewolf and that they throw us a bone with more shirtless guys and dolls. Sorry couldn't resist. I must confess that I am not like all vampire addicts. I don't watch all things vampire, but this show with all its twist and turns and everybody appearing to be what they are not is pure entertainment. So I, like millions of others, will be on my couch with my glass of Merlot watching the season premiere of True Blood. This is the fourth season with many more to come I hope.

NY LEGALIZES SAME SEX MARRIAGE

It was a daunting task but finally it is a done deal ladies and gentleman. NY has legalized same sex marriage. It becomes the largest state to date to do this. NY joins five other states in giving its citizens its inalienable rights. Now gay folks can marry and be afforded the same rights that there heterosexual counter parts have had since the beginning of time. It is a pretty remarkable testament to the divided politics that republicans and democrats are known for that they reached a consensus on this issue.

It wasn't long ago in 2009 that the republican conservatives blocked the bill. Ironically one of the senators that voted no in 2009, Senator Stephan Saland voted yes this time. He said he could not deny anyone's basic rights anymore. Along with the senator a freshman GOP Mark Grisanti talked about his decision may not be popular with his peers but it was the right one.  The effects of this bill will most likely be felt well beyond the geographical constraints of NY. Due to the fact that any US citizen will be welcome to come to the Big Apple to tie the knot with their loved one. In 30 days folks will flock to the state where the gay rights movement started in the Stonewall riots in Greenwhich Village.

The only sticking point seems to be in regards to religious institutions. Republicans are demanding stronger legal protections for religious institutions who fear that they will be hit with lawsuits involving discrimination should they refuse to allow a wedding. A lot of people think NY came late to the game but when they came they sure hit a home run. Expect lots of love birds wedding all over NY. It couldn't have come at a better time considering the Gay Pride Festivities that are going on this weekend. Good Job Republicans! Ooops did I say that?

Peter Faulk Dies At Age 83 of Alzheimers The Great Columbo

We could all learn something from the well known character of Columbo that Peter Faulk portrayed in the 70's. It doesn't matter what other's think of you as long as you get the job done. Columbo definitely got the job done even if it was in a disheveled manner. Peter Faulk passed away on Thursday, June 23rd surrounded by his family. He had Alzheimer for several years and his wife who he married and divorced twice took excellent care of him.

Peter Faulk took a circuitous route to acting. Before he was an actor he served in the merchant marines as a chef. After that he worked for the federal government. While he had the acting bug at an early age he was turned down in auditions because of his unusual look. When he was three years old he had to have his cancerous eye removed. When he would go on auditions they would tell him that they could get somebody else with two good eyes. But that didn't stop him and eventually he landed on Broadway where he was lauded as a great actor. Once he landed the role of Columbo he had found his niche.

Columbo with his wrinkled trench jacket and half eaten cigar was an excellent detective. He would appear to be clueless but that was an act. He knew just what was going on. He didn't miss anything which is why he solved all his cases. Often times he would be interviewing a suspect and they would think he was finished. He wasn't he would turn around as he was about to leave and say one more thing I need to ask you. That one more thing was usually a piece of information that would crack the case. We could all learn something from Peter Faulk and Columbo. Never give up no matter what people say or think.

Casey Anthony Case: Cindy Anthony searches for chlorophyll

The question is this, Is this a mother's love or is it a mother in complete denial? I have to admit I think it is the latter. Nobody saw this coming I am pretty sure. The prosecution must have been dumbfounded by Cindy Anthony's testimony today in court. They never saw it coming. Every one thought Cindy's testimony was going to be a complete yawn fest. She never mentioned conducting any of the online chlorophyll searches in her depositions. This is a vital piece of the prosecution's case. And boy does she have some great explanations for performing those searches. All 84 times that the term chlorophyll was searched, Cindy claims those were done for health reasons for her pet dogs. She was afraid her dogs were being poisoned by eating bamboo plants that contained chlorophyll. While searching for chlorophyll the queries for chloroform were found in the searches. The prosecution is trying to prove that the t0t-mom drugged her kid with chloroform to knock her out.

I mean some could surmise that lying runs in the family. We all know that Casey is one. But wait is she telling the truth. Was she honest when she emphatically stated in her deposition that she did not search for info for chlorophyll online. We know she is still a liar after all she had a make believe nanny as well as a made up job. Now it is alleged that the father is also a pathological liar. So it would follow that the mother could also be somewhat of a fantasist. We all know a mother's love is a beautiful thing but this is damn near twisted.

Despite the allegations that the tot mom is leveling on Cindy's husband. She is willing to go to all sorts of lengths to save her daughter from a lethal injection. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised though. Remember when she was testifying last week and she walked back to her seat while mouthing the words "I love you" to tot-mom. So again is this love or denial. Will Cindy Anthony save her daughter. Not only did Cindy say that she performed the searches of chlorophyll and not the tot-mom. But further on in her testimony she attempted to debunk the prosecution's theory that the stain in the trunk was present when they bought the car in 2,000. The prosecution is asserting that the stain was a result of Caylee being stored in the trunk. YUK!
